What a week. Midwife came in the end. I ended up back in hospital as bp 155/96! My midwife said I am a great mum, make beautiful babies but I just can't do pregnancy and post natal. I think she is right. Got to hospital at 6pm and left at 2am!

Unfortunatly had some scary news as ds2 has a really deep dimple just above his bum. Dave also has this but didn't notice at hospital just how deep it is. Mentioned it to the midwife yesterday and she couldn't see the end of it. Its a form of spina bifida which can be just that the skin hasn't closed over and not nessarly as bad as the spine closing up. The midwife said as both boys have it I need to bear this in mind and have more detailed scans with a another baby. Any kids the boys have will also need this testing. Two peaditritions checked him at the hospital and they are fairly sure it has a end and isn't open to his spine. Dave has a scan booked to check there is no effect on his spine. I have been told that if he was disabled he would not be pee'ing and poo'ing or moving legs at all. I am scared but not going to entertain any bad thoughts. I have a biology degree so I know how spina bifida happens, I want to know more details but am terrified of googling it. I didn't think it was genetic? I took lots of folic acid for two years before falling pg with Dave and one year with ds1. Can't understand how has happened?

Any way thought I would update. Want to talk about it but only my sister and bf know. I am doing really well. Hoping its nothing and carrying on enjoying my baby. Hope you had lovely weekends x

DH said no more kids as he is scared of seeing me getting so ill with my bp. It doesn't boover me as I have fortunatly got over it and the babies have been ok, but like someone said on here the other day - maybe my luck would run out if I had another.

Gosh maybe how scary for you and dave,
Just had a quick look on nhs website, it says spina bifida can be because of environmental, nutritional or genetic factors. There is no way to explain how it happens, but if you have one child with it, your odds increase when having another child.

My uncle has it quite mildly thankfully, he is fine, he did walk late but it's not effected him, I hope dave isn't effected by it x

Hope your bp behaves and you manage to stay out of hospital!

Today I've been some kinda super woman! Been out and cleared the garden it was a state, then painted my bathroom, nesting much lol! By the time lily arrives I want to have painted the hall stairs and landing the livingroom and the kids room, we shall see as I'm sure I'll suffer tomorrow and might get put off lol!
